Chapter 226:
He grinned and increased the speed. Her eyes widened as she clung tightly to him.
Nervousness flared inside her, and she bit her lower lip.
Was she falling for him again?
She shook her head, reminding herself she couldn’t let that happen.
The bridge ended, and the scenery changed.
Ava noticed many houses, shops, and buildings around them.
After a while, Ian stopped the bike.
Ava looked up at the building where they had stopped. It was a huge shopping mall.
She got off the bike and looked at Ian. “Where are we now p>
Ian placed his hand on her head and began to fix her hair. She realized the wind had left her hair even messier than before.
“Somewhere no one can find us,†he replied with a smile.
She frowned at him, then turned to look at the mall.
“I’ve never been to this shopping center before p>
To be honest, she had never traveled this far before.
With a grin, Ian got off the bike. He handed the keys to a guard and took her hand.
“Let’s go inside. You said you’d get me a present p>
She nodded, but her eyes widened when she saw the location sign.
“Wait a minute! You brought me to another city p>
“Yes, now you can’t run away from me,†Ian said, winking at her.
Her mouth dropped open in surprise. “Have you gone crazy? You took me outside our city just to get you a present p>
With a look of complete innocence, he nodded. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling like she was losing her mind.
How could she not have realized how far they had gone? How long had she ridden with him on the bike? Was she so captivated by his charm that she didn’t even notice?

Ian pulled her into the shopping mall. “Stop overthinking. You’re with me. I’ll take you home. There’s no need to worry p>
Trying to calm herself, Ava inhaled deeply. After a quick glance at his hand holding hers, she looked up at his face.
He removed his sunglasses, folded them, and tucked them into his t-shirt.
He looked perfect.
Unconsciously, she reached up to her hair, combing it with her fingers, embarrassed by how messy it was. He turned to her and stopped walking.
“Let me fix it again p>
Without waiting for her response, he started to comb her hair with his fingers. Her eyes stayed on him as he worked, his expression serious.
She heard giggles nearby. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw some girls covering their mouths, staring at Ian.
Ava rolled her eyes, realizing he had fans everywhere.
She pushed his hand away from her head and walked ahead.
“Hey! Wait. What’s wrong?†he asked, quickly matching her pace.
